Softer than its mink and ermine counterparts yet just as coronation-worthy, the guilt-free Pelage is made from our silkiest, most luxurious, high-pile fleece. With a satin-finish lining, the jacket has an asymmetrical full-length zipper with hidden snaps on the oversized placket. The doubled collar lies flat when open. Sleeves and hem are slightly belled. Discreet side-entry handwarmer pockets. Hip length.

I was so excited to get this jacket. The feel is everything I thought it would be, but the color seemed to have more red tones in it than the light brown I was hoping for. It just didn't fit me the way I had hoped.

The Pelage jacket is true to size. I'm 5'4", 115# and size small fits perfectly. I love that it's windproof without being heavy or bulky. It's very fashionable and looks great with jeans, skirts, dresses, etc. My only potentially negative about the Pelage is that the plastic snaps are very hard to open and I fear ripping the material if I'm not very careful in unsnapping them.

I saw this jacket in pearl at a local store. After touching it, I had to have it (I bought it in grey, which has a fun hot pink lining). Both colors are fantastic. The jacket is incredibly soft (I find myself absentmindedly petting my own arm as I drive). I never thought I'd think of a fleece as having flexibility to be "dressy", but this jacket does.

They are radically different jackets, though both are windproof. The R4 is a technical fleece for astonishingly cold conditions, with a fuzzy high-loft external layer (like an R2 or a North Face Osito) on the outside and a grid-fleece liner. The Pelage is a more fashionable jacket with a unique, curly fleece that almost looks like a faux fur.
